This property, built in 1968, has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, bringing it to a 'good' condition. The kitchen features granite countertops, elegant dark wood cabinets, and modern stainless steel appliances (double ovens, microwave, dishwasher, 5-burner stovetop with custom range hood), all appearing well-maintained and functional, though the style suggests a renovation likely 10-15 years ago rather than brand new. Bathrooms are also extensively updated; the main floor bathroom boasts a contemporary vessel sink and wood accent wall, while the primary bathroom includes double sinks, custom cabinets, granite-like countertops, and a tiled shower with a smoky glass door. Wood flooring on the main level and in the primary bedroom, recessed lighting, and crown molding contribute to a polished, move-in ready interior. The primary weakness is the cooling system, with only an 'extra wall AC' in the primary bedroom and reliance on natural airflow, indicating a lack of central air conditioning. Despite this, the overall condition, extensive remodels, and meticulous maintenance place it firmly in the 'good' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 10104, living area = 2197.
Exceptional Curb Appeal & Landscaping: The property boasts striking curb appeal with custom landscape and hardscape, featuring a charming wrap-around front porch that offers a garden-like view.

Desirable Brea Location: The home is situated on a gorgeous corner lot in the highly desirable area of Brea, enhancing its market appeal and potential value.

Cons

Limited Cooling System: The description mentions an 'extra wall AC' in the primary bedroom and reliance on 'natural air flow' via French doors, suggesting the absence of a comprehensive central air conditioning system for the entire home.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1968, despite extensive remodels, the underlying structure's age could imply potential for older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that may require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly covered in the description.
Generic Subdivision Name: The subdivision name is listed as 'OTHER', which might indicate a lack of a distinct community identity or specific neighborhood amenities often associated with named subdivisions.
